The above probably won't work on Dreamhost if you are on a shared hosting plan. &nbsp;Dreamhost (and most large ISPs) doesn't allow you to override their PHP.ini settings which is what controls the max upload size.<br />
<br />
Are you trying to extend the backend upload or does this solution need to be available on the frontend?

Hi Jason,<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Are you trying to extend the backend upload or does this solution need to be available &gt;&gt;&nbsp;on the frontend? <br />
<br />
Any way that will let me upload a very large MP4 file.<br />
I would like the limit to be 640 MB, but if that is not possible on Dreamhost, &nbsp;I can compress the file.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Leigh
